A Sun-Soaked Maternity Session in the Colorado Mountains

A Growing Love Story: Laura, David & Liv

Some families just feel like home. That’s exactly how it feels every time I step into a session with Laura and David. We’ve been on this journey together since they were expecting their daughter, Liv, and now, years later, we’re celebrating the arrival of their newest little love—a baby boy, due any day now.

From their first maternity session at Garden of the Gods to their sun-drenched family session last year in the mountains, each moment has been filled with so much warmth and connection. This most recent maternity session, once again up in the mountains near their home, was no exception. It was golden, peaceful, and filled with the kind of love that makes you slow down and soak it all in.

Following Families As They Grow

There’s something incredibly special about documenting a family’s story over the years. I’ve watched Laura and David step into parenthood with such grace, capturing Liv’s newborn session in the comfort of their home and later seeing her grow into the most joyful, adventurous little girl. Now, as they prepare to welcome their son, I can’t help but feel honored to be part of this next chapter.

Maternity sessions like this remind me why I love what I do. They’re not just about the baby bump; they’re about the journey—the deep love between partners, the excitement of a sibling waiting to meet their baby brother, and the quiet, tender moments before life changes in the most beautiful way.

An Invitation Into a Family’s Most Sacred Space

One of the greatest honors in my work is being invited into a family’s home during those early newborn days. I’ll be photographing Laura and David’s in-home newborn session soon, and I already know it’s going to be filled with all the sweetness that comes with welcoming a new baby.

Laura and I had an instant connection from the beginning, but I knew we were kindred spirits when I noticed a beautiful piece of art in their home during Liv’s newborn session. When I commented on it, she told me she had found it on the side of the road in New York—my kind of gal! Those little moments, the things that make each family uniquely them, are what make these sessions so incredibly meaningful.
